A judge from the Guinness Book of World Records certified on Saturday that 507 electric cars were gathered at an event in Cupertino, California, beating the total set at an event in Germany earlier this year. Only battery-electric cars were counted toward the total. While there were many plug-in hybrids on hand, the record only applies to vehicles that use electricity as their sole source of energy. Even electric bikes were left out of the tally, because they have a secondary source of power in the form of pedals. There was still a wide variety of vehicles present, including examples of the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S, Toyota RAV4 EV, and Kia Soul EV. — Full Story at Green Car Reports –

Over the past three decades, China’s central government has tried to lessen the damage on China’s environment caused by smog and air pollution. As part of this effort, China needs to improve its forecasting skills to be able to prevent smog and pollution scares.

Beijing has been using an alert system based on the data received from 35 monitoring stations. However, residents of the Chinese capital stated that the current efforts are not enough to get the job done.

Ma Jun, director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, said that predictions are helpful to prevent exposure but are not enough because they only state which days people should only stay indoors or wear masks. — Full Story at China Topix –

The Environmental Goods Agreement covers 54 products, including PV cells and modules. The annual trade value of these is around US$1 trillion. Negotiations will initially centre on the removal of tariffs and customs duties.

The group also includes Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore, Australia, with South Korea close to agreeing participation. The group officially announced the start on Tuesday at a press conference in Geneva with talks beginning in earnest on Wednesday.

Over the years the EU has been at a forefront in protecting the environment and fighting against climate change,” said EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht.

This initiative is an excellent example how trade policy can positively contribute to the global objective of sustainable development, i.e. facilitating access to clean energy and rapid urbanisation process. — Full Story at PV-Tech –

However, no market exists for carbon emissions except where governments force companies to buy or sell “carbon credits.” Therefore, there is no such thing as a natural “carbon price.” The concept is entirely artificial.

Admittedly, Europe has a carbon exchange, but it’s not a real marketplace like a stock exchange. It wouldn’t exist if the EU’s commissioners hadn’t dictated that companies put a price on their emissions and pay extra for emissions above their mandated limits.

Even after all of that, the price for a tonne of carbon on the European exchange is a fraction of what EU planners projected it would be. The only people who make money consistently are clever profiteers who have learned how to apply for “green” subsidies. And the whole thing is prone to corruption. — Full Story at Cornwall Standard Freeholder –

That’s the intriguing premise behind the recently-completed Waste House project, which is believed by those involved to be the first permanent British building built almost solely from waste and recycled materials. Constructed at the University of Brighton’s Grand Parade campus, the Waste House is an ongoing experiment which aims to prove, in the organizer’s own words, that “there is no such thing as waste, just stuff in the wrong place.”

A team of 253 students and apprentices led by BBM Architects Director and senior lecturer Duncan Baker-Brown spent three months designing, and another 12 building the house, with work completed in April this year. Around 90 percent of the materials that went into making the structure are waste products that were derived from various household and construction sites.

This included some 20,000 toothbrushes (used once by business and first class aircraft passengers), 2 tons (1.8 tonnes) of denim jeans, 4,000 DVD cases, 2,000 floppy discs, and 2,000 used carpet tiles – the latter used to clad the home’s facade. –Full Story at Gizmag –

A technical advance based on an edible salt used in the manufacture of tofu could revolutionise the production of future solar panels to make them less expensive, more flexible and easier to use than the current models seen on millions of roofs across Britain.

Researchers believe they have found a way of overcoming one of the most serious limitations of the next generation of solar panels, which are based on toxic cadmium chloride, by simply adding magnesium chloride, an abundant salt found in seawater.

A study has shown that the solar cells produced with magnesium chloride – which is also found in bath salts as well as used to coagulate soya milk into tofu – work just as efficiently as conventional cadmium cells but at a fraction of the cost and with much lower toxicity. — Full Story at The Independent. –

The construction of buildings requires huge amounts of energy and other resources such as clean water to run efficiently and effectively. A good 40% of energy is used by buildings in the US. In the same context, greenhouse gas emissions are also at a 40% high. If the same scenario persists, the highest amount of energy consumption will be by buildings in a decade.

To deter the construction and building industry from taking over energy consumption, it has become crucial to erect zero-net-energy (ZNE) buildings. The ZNE buildings can be the answer to today’s energy-focused challenges to reduce energy consumption and derive energy from green or renewable sources. The use of ZNE technology buildings not only reduces cost and creates renewable energy, but it can give a boost to the economy. The implementation and execution will require a workforce, which means the technology can result in increased employment. — Full Story at DesignNews –

As the clamor for affordable electric power in the U.S: reaches oil-wealthy Texas, a consortium of energy firms and solar companies have launched the Texas Solar Power Association (TSPA), with the intention being to promote state solar business interests.

The TSPA’s founding board members have been drawn from First Solar, SunPower Corporation, Recurrent Energy and E.ON, and its mission is simple: advance the development of solar electric generation in Texas.

Founding members of the TSPA include representatives from solar manufacturers, EPC service providers, residential and commercial rooftop integrators and large-scale power plant developers with business interests in the state. — Full Story at PV-Magazine –

One year after unveiling an aggressive plan, Obama said new emissions limits on power plants, renewable energy projects and new incentives for green technology have cleared the way for further action in the U.S. and abroad, despite steadfast opposition from much of Congress.

“When you take those first steps, even if they’re hard, and even if there are politics sometimes, you start building momentum and you start mobilizing larger and larger communities,” Obama said. “Every step makes a difference.”

Obama’s remarks to the League of Conservation Voters served as a progress report for his climate plan, which the president laid out with much fanfare last June at Georgetown University. Twelve months later, much of the plan is in motion, although the most ambitious steps are still up in the air and will take years to be fully realized.

Change won’t be instantaneous, Obama cautioned. “There’s no silver bullet.” — Full Story at US News –

The survey looked into which social issues were important for consumers, which segments were responsive to such issues, and how strongly they felt about a supplier’s social practices.

An Idaho startup, Solar Roadways, believes that it’s time to change that. Why doesn’t pavement generate power from the sun that beats down on it all day? With LED lights built in, roads could become emergency signs, warning of a wreck around the bend. And an integrated heating element could melt snow and ice, rendering salt and snowplows superfluous.

While the concept clearly catches the imagination, most people who have researched, funded, or tried to roll out solar projects will tell you that surface streets and freeways are probably the last places they would want to deploy solar panels. “This seems like one of the longest putts you could come up with in solar,” says Ian Bowles, an energy investor at Windsail Capital and former energy official in Massachusetts and Washington. — Full Story at Boston Globe –
